Barcelona FC star player, Lionel Messi, has in a new interview, revealed that he does not have a personal relationship with his competitor, Real Madrid’s Cristiano Ronaldo.

The Argentine star in a chat with MARCA, stated that he doesn’t know if he will ever be friends with the portugese player.

He said;

“I do not know if we will be [friends]m” he told Marca . “Friendship is something that is built through spending time together and getting to know each other.

“We have no relationship, but mostly because we only see each other in the awards ceremonies and it is the only time we speak. At that moment everything is fine, but then we do not cross paths again.”

Messi was speaking following the presentation of his European Golden Shoe award where he refused to discuss his future.

The Argentine playmaker, who won the award for the fourth time after scoring 37 league goals last season, has not yet signed the new deal the club say he has agreed, meaning he will be free to join another team next season.

Following the historic victory of the Super Eagles team against South American country, Argentina, in an international friendly in Russia last Tuesday, it’s being reported that each member of the Eagles will get a $2,000 (N721,000 est.) token over their victory.

This was disclosed to SportingLife by a top Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) executive member who was at Russia, It was understood that the players already knew how much will come to them before the match.

“The players are entitled to a flat rate of $2,000 for being part of the squad for any international friendly ahead of the World Cup and they are all aware of it. said a source”
Super Eagles Get $2,000

After all done and said, the NFF still looking at possible ways to strengthen the eagles squad have made some more efforts to arrange for more friendly games for them before the commencement of the 2018 World Cup in Russia.

The victory over the Argentine’s deadly squad was a game to remember for ages as Nigerians have been praying for this moment thier entire lives and equally which they perform the same way at the World Cup.

Football ruling body FIFA has banned Nigerian born England
midfielder Dele Alli for one international match following his
middle-finger gesture during the World Cup qualifier against Slovakia.

Fifa also placed a fined 5,000 Swiss francs (£3,852) on the Tottenham
player after it regarded the incident on 4 September as “offensive and
unsporting”.
Alli will miss Thursday’s World Cup qualifier at home to Slovenia.
The 21-year-old will be available for the game against Lithuania on Sunday.
Alli said his gesture was aimed at former Spurs team-mate Kyle Walker during the 77th minute of the 2-1 win in Group F.
The incident occurred after Alli was body-checked by Slovakia defender Martin Skrtel, and referee Clement Turpin waved play on.
It initially appeared that Alli gestured towards the official, with
whom he also had words when he was substituted in the 93rd minute.
A Fifa statement said: “Although the disciplinary committee was not
convinced that the player directed the gesture at the referee, and
regardless of whether it was allegedly directed at a team-mate, it did
consider such gesture to be offensive and unsporting. Therefore it
amounted to a violation of article 57 of the Fifa disciplinary code.”

The rift between Edinson Cavani and Neymar is far from over according to fresh reports credited to football portal, El Pais.
It is understood that the Uruguayan and record-signing Neymar clearly don’t see eye to eye after their recent rift over
penalty
and free-kick taking responsibilities unfolded, but it seems their first exchanges weren’t much better.
According to El Pais, Cavani certainly made a shocking first impression on the Brazilian forward.
‘And who is this? Do you think you’re (Lionel) Messi?’ the striker reportedly asked when Neymar first entered the dressing room.
Whether Cavani was joking or was intending insult upon the new arrival –
for £198million – remains to be seen, but while Neymar was seemingly
attempting a leap of faith out of the shadow of his former Barcelona
team-mate, he probably didn’t take it too well.

I Don’t Think I’ll Use Myself In The Game Because I Don’t
Think My Rating Is Very Good, Dele Alli Laments when he saw his Fifa 18
game rating.
The Tottenham star player was rated 84 in the game, and its obvious he ain’t so pleased with it.Do you think he deserved more?
